PSO=Worse than DRUGS

[SoundMasterLuku]

I guess thats a pretty much acret desiption jarl. It just you secondary sub-consunce that tell you do do thing like PLAY PSO!!!

[Kaze]

I'll bet there is some type of subliminal messaging... I got into it because a friend let me play the game with him a bit.. and now I can't quit. Grr!

[God-IX]

Yes thats right...subliminal messages are telling you to be lazy and play video games....it's all coming together now.....now I know why I am addicted to video games....

what i really hate is when you get those must play... must play... while your at school, i just have to think about stuff then... (i.e, doing double saber combo running round the field lol, everyone thinks im mad tis quite funny.... not gonna tell you everything about my pso addiction, but i think i may have a case for suing in america, ive been that affected lol)

Im in college thinking that right now...

Wow I know exactly what you guys are talking about. If it wasn't for this site I would go crazy at school. I want to play PSO so bad, but all my weapons are so duped and hacked and I can't seem to start a normal game without wanting to just cheat my way to winning(its quite sad...BB is the answer for me)I do love play EP 3 every other month or 2. I don't play it religiously, but I do get the sudden urge to play. Same with EP 1 and 2. One of these days I am going to get my Character Aero past lv 134! (wtf...still I don't know what emotion this is)

You should play through the game with only green photon weapons (basics). I'm starting a new character to do jsut that. It's great fun!

How can you say that you understand the pso magic, if you never find any weapons yourself

Ghost in the machine.

There's this vague image I have of some jedi-type master lurking in the shadows who sometimes shows up to lend a hand in a challenge mode run or in a random game.

The veterans all know him.

That's the ghost - the legend. His/her skills are legendary. His/her TA times are ridiculous. He/she has collected every damn item in the game.

Recognition.

Like the engineer in the bowels of the submarine on the Hans Doldinger masterpiece, Das Boot.

The reason some of us keep coming back in version after version and logging hour after hour collecting this rare, chasing down that egg, improving that TA time, taking yet another character to the 200lvl is that we want, some of us anyway, to be that guy.

We want to be recognized as really good at something.

For some, it's the legit Guld-Milla. For others, it's the documented, witnessed capture and unsealing of the legendary j-sword. For others, it's breaking the magic 2, 3, or 4 hour challenge mode time or posting a time that is truly unbelievable unless honorable veterans provide witness to the fact. That drives some.

For still others, it's the shits and giggles of meeting buddies, drinking beers and yucking it up while you slaughter baddies.

It's that next rare drop, that next level, that next egg, that next TA run.....the next thing.

It's meeting others who like to do the same thing you like to do.

There are so many reasons to like this game and that is what keeps bringing so many of us back to the next version - I currently have four versions and many have more than that.

No other game I have played has kept me coming back like this one has. And no matter how much I have accomplished (using that word lightly), there is always something more that I would like to do.

That is the addictive nature of PSO.

Jebus Christ he summed that up well. That's about the only reason i used to play online. Nowadays we sometimes break it out at parties and "yuck it up" with friends.

[Anti Hacker]

Yeah, this game is a collectors game. Like when you used to get booster packs for that TCG, you opened the foil to see a shiny card, it was sheer bliss. Its the same principle, but with swords and shiny red crates. PSO will keep me coming back for more even if i do bore of it sometimes.

I love play PSO. With friends. To find special weapons(I play offline). Or to make new characters and give them good itens
